While parents are back to work and the kids still have two weeks of school holidays to keep themselves amused, the Far North Coast NSW Table Tennis Association is planning a coaching clinic at the Jim Armstrong Centre in Goonellabah.

Level 1 accredited table tennis coach Julie Burton has seen growing junior numbers attend centre training sessions.

To build on that interest and provide a healthy and safe option for juniors during the current school holiday period, Julie has proposed a two-day coaching clinic, open to both primary and secondary students. You can attend both days or just a single day. All levels and abilities are welcome.
